Fell View

A lovely cottage in the heart of Gunnerside, sleeping up to 6 people, dog-friendly and close to pub and tearoom. Fell View is deceptively spacious (in estate agent-speak!), with 3 good-sized bedrooms and family bathroom upstairs, and living room, with dining room and kitchen off. The living room has a cosy multi-fuel stove, for which the first basket of logs and bucket of coal is provided. The cottage has overnight storage heaters throughout and is charmingly decorated and furnished. The kitchen has a full-size dishwasher, and the cottage benefits from a downstairs cloakroom (macerator), along with the bathroom upstairs. The three bedrooms are a spacious king-size, another spacious dble, and a sgle bedroom, which has a pull-out guest bed (although not a lot of extra space when guest bed is out), and there is a small family bathroom, with shower over bath (very low ceiling). While there is no garden, the cottage overlooks the lovely grassy island, with its anniversary rose arch and benches where you can sit out and enjoy the sun on your face! There are lots of great walks direct from the door, including Gunnerside Ghyll and meadow walks where the buttercups look stunning. Gunnerside is a tiny village, with the King's Head pub and Ghyllfoot Tearoom and gorgeous scenery surrounding. A local shop can be found at Muker, 3 miles updale, or shops, garage and post office at Reeth, 6 miles. The cottage is warm, cosy and comfortable, an ideal base for a relaxing holiday in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. Swaledale is the most beautiful of all the Dales and guests return year after year to this lovely spot. A wonderful cottage for a memorable holiday! Sleeps up to 6. One dog welcome (strictly not on furniture or upstairs), sorry, no smokers. Free wifi.

Week bookings run from Saturday to Saturday. A 2 person discount (one bedroom) of 10% is available on week bookings (sorry, not during peak periods). Mention when enquiring.
